As part of the discussions taking place in Cairo Blockchain Week organized by Mercatura Forum, our management team discussed with both the Egyptian exchange and the financial regulatory authority the tokenization of a variety of digital assets on our platform on ICP, this would allow for 24/7 capital markets trading, immediate settlement and much more. Egypt recently introduced progressive regulations allowing for the issuance of real world assets directly on chain. During the opening session of Cairo Blockchain Week at The Cairo Salah ElDin Citadel, the Financial Regulatory Authority discussed those regulations at length as well as met with several Layer 1 protocols to discuss their use in Egypt allowing for true mass adoption. Below are snippets of closed door meetings with EGX and the regulatory during Cairo Blockchain Week. You can follow the event as well as check The ICP specific panel conducted by @MercaturaDevs
We are also welcoming any community involvement in the growth of the Egyptian Ecosystem. Egypt as an emerging market has a population of over 110 million, 60% of whom are youth with a love for tech furthermore the country has in the last year alone attracted over a 100 billion in foreign direct investment most important of which is the UAE built city on the Mediterranean
Tokenizing real-world assets on ICP and enabling 24/7 trading is a game changer. It’s amazing to see regulators and the stock exchange embracing this shift—real progress toward a more open and efficient financial system. And with such a young, tech-loving population, the potential here is massive. Can’t wait to see how the community gets involved and helps push this forward! Exciting times ahead!
